Khadija: The First Lady of Islam

By Zahra Thomson

Khadija: The First Lady of Islam is a scholarly biography of Mohammad's first, most beloved, yet least understood wife. In today's terms, Khadija was a self-made billionaire whose camel caravans outnumbered all her rivals. She was 15 years older than Mohammad and proposed marriage to him, a lowly poor orphan, after hiring him to manage one of her caravans. Their marriage shocked the elite of Mecca but resulted in a 24 year blissful and monogamous union that Mohammad later described as the happiest time of his life. This book is full of details which brings Khadija, Mohammad, and early Islam to life and helps the reader understand why Islam is what it is and why Khadija was so downplayed after her death. Because of its vast amount of highly readable knowledge, this book is destined to be referenced often by scholars and enjoyed by the public.
